Victoria Council of the Knights of Columbus invites you to join us this May to Study Mary, the Mother of God through our 4-session program that comprises prayer, food, a video presentation and a discussion period.  Dates are: 3, 10, 17, & 24 May; time 12:00 – 1:40 PM at Queen of Peace Church.  We will provide the prayers, food, video, and question sheets.  You will need a Bible (RSV-CE2 recommended) and a Catechism of the Catholic Church, if you have one.  The video and questionnaire are produced by Steve Ray through Ignatius Press.  Your facilitator will be Kevin Kirkwood at kdkirkwood@shaw.ca.  Preregistration is required – there are only 10 seats available.

Join us for a journey through either the Gospel of Luke or the Letter to the Romans as we offer Two 8-session Bible Studies this May and June.  Both are free, limited to 10 persons, and require preregistration.  Romans will be offered on Tuesdays beginning 6 May and ending 24 June from 7-8:30 PM.  Luke will be offered on Wednesdays beginning 7 May, ending 25 June and also from  7-8:30 PM.  For more information and Preregistration contact Kevin at kdkirkwood@shaw.ca

The Latin Mass on Low Sunday, April 27, 2025 will be at 1:00 pm rather than the usual 12 noon time.  This is due to the Bishop coming to confirm 14 young people at the 10:00 am Novus Ordo Mass.

Peter Stornebrink, a long time member of our Latin Mass Community, and a great supporter of our Latin Mass throughout the years, passed away March 19, 2025,  the Feast of St. Joseph.  He joins his wife Christine, who passed away in January of this year.

• Prayers will take place Sunday evening, March 30, at 7:00 pm
• Funeral Mass:  Monday, March 31, 2025 at 11:00 am, at Our Lady Queen of Peace Church, followed by a luncheon downstairs
• Burial will follow at Hatley Gardens, on Sooke Road, at 2:30 pm
